It's still vaporware but I've been keeping my eye on it.
If you are willing to use a Rohloff (no derailleur hanger), get a Thorn Nomad with the S&S option. It usually is fitted with a solid fork but for the trip where I took the photo I fitted a suspension fork. The frame is designed for either solid or 100mm travel suspension fork.
